DESCRIPTION

FEATURES

The TPS31 is a high performance, harsh environment micromachined silicon pressure sensor. The TPS31 series utilizes pressure sensors whose pressure ports are on the bottom of the pressure sensor. This makes the TPS31 series highly resistant to chemicals that will destroy most sensors. The alumina ceramic (Al 2O3) packaging is very mechanically stable and by isolating mechanical stresses from the sensor el ement, contributes greatly to the stability of the device. The alumina ceramic package also has excellent chemical resistance. Custom pressures are available for large orders. 1 2 3 4 PIN CONFIGURATION

Application Information

Package: The package body is made of alumina (Al 2O3) ceramic, an extremely rigid and stable material that is highly impervious to chemicals. This results in extremely high stability. The sensor package is not sealed. This is necessary for operation of the sensor. Stability: The small difference in coefficient of thermal expansion between sensor and package sets the TPS31 series apart from other pressure sensors. The micromachined pressure sensor has a pyrex base and is mounted with a flexible, chemical resistant material into the ceramic package. Flexible die attach allows for some tolerance of small changes and helps isolate the sensor die from other changes due to temperature, sensor mounting and package mounting. Additional stability is gained from factory stabilization of all sensors. Pressure port: The F (face seal) port option is a highly reliable connection method that allows direct mounting to a measurement point with methods such as an o-ring or epoxy. An o-ring provides for a leak resistant seal and very robust connection. Designs for o-ring seals may be found in the “Parker O-Ring Handbook”. The T (tube) port option is also a reliable connection method if the user finds a tube connection more effective for their design. Pressure ports with tubing barbs are designed for 1/8” OD, flexible tubing. NOTE: DO NOT apply clamping pressure on the package cover. It is possible to damage the package if excessive pressure is applied. Proper care should be exercised when mounting. Media: The bottom pressure port is tolerant of harsh environments and many different media. Wetted parts: F (face seal) port option wetted surfaces are composed of alumina ceramic, silicone die attach, pyrex glass and silicon. T (tube) port option adds 305 stainless steel. Pressure ranges: Standard pressure ranges are 15, 30, 60 and 100 psi in both gage and absolute types. Custom pressure ranges are available for large orders. Soldering and contamination: The TPS31 series packaging is not sealed due to the need to provide an atmospheric port in gage pressure application. This means that the TPS31 series are not suitable for application where flux residue is to be cleaned from the finished circuit assembly. Foreign materials and contamination should be prevented from entering the sensor package cavity.
